  • the present inventor has conducted extensive and intensive studies with a view toward achieving the above object. As a result, it has been found that, by using a conjugate fiber having two components conjugated side by side and a crimped fiber having a torque of 30 T/m or less to constitute a cloth, a cloth having excellent air permeability changing function due to wetness and dimensional stability can be obtained, and extensive and intensive studies have been further made, and thus the present invention has been completed.

  • the polyamide component is positioned inside the crimp and the polyester component is positioned outside the crimp.
  • a conjugate fiber having such a crimp structure can be easily obtained by the below-described method for production.

  • the draw ratio may be appropriately selected so that the finally obtained conjugate fiber has an elongation at break of 10 to 60% (preferably 20 to 45%) and a strength at break of about 3.0 to 4.7 cN/dtex.
  • a cloth is woven or knitted and then, subjected to heat treatment, such as dyeing processing, to cause crimp of the conjugate fiber.
  • the temperature of the dyeing processing is preferably 100 to 140°C (more preferably 110 to 135°C), and, with respect to the time, the keeping time for the highest temperature is preferably in the range of from 5 to 40 minutes.
  • the conjugate fiber has crimp caused due to a thermal shrinkage difference between the polyester component and the polyamide component.
  • the above-mentioned polymers as the polyester component and the polyamide component, there is obtained a crimp structure in which the polyamide component is positioned inside the crimp.
  • the cloth which has been subjected to dyeing processing is preferably subjected to dry heat final setting.
  • the temperature of the dry heat final setting is preferably 120 to 200°C (more preferably 140 to 180°C), and the time for the dry heat final setting is preferably in the range of from 1 to 3 minutes.
  • the temperature of the dry heat final setting is lower than 120°C, there is a possibility that wrinkles generated during the dyeing processing are likely to remain as such, and the finished product is poor in dimensional stability.
  • the temperature of the dry heat final setting is higher than 200°C, there is a possibility that the crimp of the conjugate fiber caused during the dyeing processing is lowered, or the fiber is hardened to cause hand of the fabric to become hard.
  • the cloth of the invention has been subjected to water absorption processing.
  • the water absorption processing may be general water absorption processing, and, as a preferred example of such processing, there can be mentioned one in which a water absorption processing agent, such as polyethylene glycol diacrylate or a derivative thereof, or a polyethylene terephthalate-polyethylene glycol copolymer, is deposited onto the cloth in an amount of 0.25 to 0.50% by weight, based on the weight of the cloth.
  • a method of processing in a bath in which a water absorption processing agent is mixed into a dyeing liquid at the time of dyeing processing a method in which, before being subjected to dry heat final setting, the cloth is dipped in a water absorption processing liquid and squeezed using a mangle, and methods of processing by coating, such as a gravure coating method and a screen printing method.
  • the crimp degree of the conjugate fiber contained in the cloth is efficiently reduced when being in the wet state, and therefore the yarn length of the conjugate fiber is increased, so that, as diagrammatically shown in Fig. 4 , voids in the cloth become large to improve the air permeability.
  • the crimp degree of the conjugate fiber is increased when being in the dry state, and therefore the yarn length of the conjugate fiber is reduced, so that voids in the cloth become small to cause the air permeability to be poor.
  • the crimped fiber having a torque of 30 T/m contained in the cloth improves the cloth in bulkiness, so that the water absorption properties are enhanced, obtaining excellent air permeability changing function. Further, simultaneously, excellent dimensional stability is obtained.
  • the air permeability change ratio is 5% or more (preferably 80 to 500%).
  • the air permeability is a value (c.f.m.) measured in accordance with JIS L 1096-2010, 8.26.1, A method (Frajour type method) (in which the pressure for measurement is changed from 125 Pa described in JIS to 20 Pa).
  • the dry state means the state obtained after a sample has been allowed to stand in an environment at a temperature of 20°C and at a humidity of 65% RH for 24 hours.
  • the air permeability change ratio is smaller than 5%, there is a possibility that a problem is likely to occur in that a person feels sticky upon sweating. It is preferred that, after washing is conducted once in accordance with JIS L0217-1995, 103 method, the air permeability change ratio is 10% or more.
  • the dimensional change ratio of the cloth is 10% or less both in the height and width directions .
  • the dimensional change ratio of the cloth is larger than 10%, there is a possibility that a fibrous product obtained using the cloth is poor in wearing comfortability or appearance . It is preferred that, after washing is conducted once in accordance with JIS L0217-1995, 103 method, the dimensional change ratio of the cloth is 10% or less both in the height and width directions.
  • raising processing by a general method, or various types of processing for imparting a function using an ultraviolet light screening agent, an anti-fungus agent, a deodorant, a mothproofing agent, a phosphorescent agent, a retroreflective agent, a negative ion generator, a water repellent, or the like may be applied.
  • a fibrous product which is obtained using the above-mentioned cloth, and which is any one fibrous product selected from the group consisting of clothing, a lining cloth, an interlining cloth, socks, a stomach band, a hat, gloves, nightclothes, a side cloth for bedclothes (futon), a cover for bedclothes (futon), and a car seat skin material.
  • the fibrous product uses the above-mentioned cloth, and therefore has excellent air permeability changing function and dimensional stability when being in the wet state.
